说明
The bend in the road where MacArthur meets Millsview needs a stop sign in both directions or speed bumps to slow drivers down. Drivers speed up and down MacArthur after the lights turn green at 55th and at the Mills entrance. I've only lived in this neighborhood two years and have twice seen that speeding cars coming down MacArthur have lost control coming around the bend and have crossed on-coming traffic and plowed thru the chain link fence into the Mills campus! Every time I drive up MacArthur around that bend, cars coming down the street cross the double yellow line because they are speeding and can not control their vehicles. Cars have come into my lane as much as 3 feet speeding towards me! There's also a cross walk across MacArthur at that intersection; the perfect place for a stop sign so pedestrians don't have to try to cross the street while drivers speed by at 40 MPH or faster. Something needs to be done to slow cars in both directions immediately!

How about a sign that says "radar enforced" and an electronic sign showing one's speed? Try putting a motorcycle cop there once in awhile and maybe there'd be an effect.

I voted yes. I am a homeowner nearby Mills College, and I understand exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I don't think that road qualifies for a speed bump- I really wish, I am incorrect. The best avenue that Public Works can do with a low budget is to put a "stop sign" and a walking "cross-walk sign."
Also, please help me write emails to the Chancellor of Mills College so they can add a side walk to its perimeter. After more than 100 years of establishment, it really important for them to take the initiative and add a sidewalk for the following reasons: nearby schools run on their "side walk," we need more light around the perimeter of the school (safety), trash can be easily be pick up, etc.
Please support me and help me write emails to the Chancellor and to the board.

Would that be the stretch from Seminary Ave. to the Main gate? Can't remember if there are sidewalks on both sides of Seminary ABOVE the MacArthur intersection. Do we know if outside the fence is Mills property or City property?

being we are having a paving crisis, doubt this is going to happen and D6 member is not putting this on the radar.
I would think a maximum speed sign for the curve and a sign showing sharp curve up ahead (like on a turn where they show the truck tipping).
Then you can occasionally have police with speed gun just to enforce the sign put up.
Sign is the cheapest as again a starting deterrent.If that pops up enough, Folks will slow down.
There also should be a light going up the hill so its not such a dark curve.
Solution focused.
